Chapter 150

"Sword Sect?"

Seeing these two characters, Jing Wuming was also completely bewildered.

You must know that he was the rumored Lone Star of Heavenly Evil, capable of killing everyone close to him.

In fact, in all his years of traveling to learn, he had already caused the deaths of seven or eight masters.

However, although these masters knew of his fate, they were still willing to pass on their life’s learning to Jing Wuming, having seen his extremely high martial arts talent.

Even so, the fate of the Lone Star was enough to make anyone suffer.

Now, in the entire Wu Lin, whenever they heard he wanted to apprentice, basically no master dared to accept him.

But at this very moment, Mr. Su had left the two characters "Sword Sect"?

Thinking of this, Jing Wuming said again:

"I have heard of this secretive sect,"

"Back then, in order to learn, I even wanted to join the Sword Sect,"

"It’s just that the Sword Sect has always been strict in accepting disciples; besides requirements for talent, the most important thing is status—only descendants of famous families can enter the Sword Sect."

Su Hang paused and said:

"Actually, there is no need to be discouraged!"

"There is one person who will definitely be willing to help you enter the Sword Sect, and that is your elder brother!"

"As the only son of the Grand General, as long as your brother recommends you, your entry into the Sword Sect is only a matter of time."

"Once you enter the Sword Sect, you may not necessarily need to apprentice."

"You have the fate of the Lone Star and possess extremely high comprehension; as long as you can endure the one-year test in the Sword Wheel,"

"you will naturally master the Heavenly Sword!"

"Once you master the Heavenly Sword, combined with what you have learned in the past and the Hero Sword intent, when these merge into one, that is the martial Dao you will ultimately walk—the Heavenly Sword."

"When you duel Dugu Dugu Jian with the Heavenly Sword, although you may not necessarily win in terms of moves,"

"in terms of realm and sword intent, even though you will only be nineteen, the Heavenly Sword will be able to surpass the Holy Spirit Sword Art."

"So, you don't need to worry now..."

"Joining the Sword Sect and mastering the Heavenly Sword is the beginning of your fame in the Wu Lin."

Hearing this, Jing Wuming felt a surge of excitement.

A moment ago, he was just a boy at a dead end, not knowing where his future lay.

But at this moment, after Su Hang’s words, the young Jing Wuming suddenly saw clearly.

No matter how the Mu household treated him, this brother of convenience had always been good to him.

As long as he had Mu Mu Yingxiong’s recommendation, wouldn't joining the Sword Sect be easy?

But thinking of this,

Jing Wuming asked in confusion:

"Mr. Su..."

"Did you mean just now that defeating Dugu Dugu Jian is only the beginning?"

Su Hang nodded and continued:

"That is indeed the case!"

"You have the fate of the Lone Star and are destined to have shallow ties with your kin,"

"but at the same time, the fate of the Lone Star means you are a lone star hanging high, overlooking all living beings."

"You are destined to achieve extremely high accomplishments in the sword!"

"Surpassing Dugu Dugu Jian is not your end, but merely your starting point!"

As Su Hang said this, the onlookers were slightly stunned.

They began to take the young boy before them seriously.

After all, they were right there and had heard Su Hang’s words clearly.

If what Mr. Su said was true, then the future achievements of this boy named Jing Wuming might make him the next number one in the world.

Su Hang saw this and said again:

"At nineteen, you will master the Heavenly Sword and become famous in one battle."

"But in fact, your martial Dao peak is not in this battle."

"It is in another battle against a master from Dongying."

"What is certain is that before long, the Jue Wushen lineage of Dongying will invade the Central Plains."

"And at that time, you, alone with your sword, will block Jue Wushen’s army."

"Not only will you block the army, but you will also severely injure this number one master of Dongying."

"By then, you will truly earn the name of Heavenly Sword and become a legend of the Wu Lin."

"But at the same time, because of you, the Sword Sect will decline."

"After you, there will be no Sword Sect."

Hearing this, Jing Wuming was speechless.

He had originally only wanted to avoid the Sword Saint and survive this inexplicable duel.

He had not expected Mr. Su to point out another path for him—to cultivate the Heavenly Sword and become a Wu Lin legend!

In that instant, the fog in Jing Wuming’s heart dissipated.

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for clearing my confusion!"

"But..."

Jing Wuming stood up, bowed to Su Hang again, and continued:

"But Mr. Su..."

"Why do you say that after me, the Sword Sect is destined to decline?"

"Did I cause the death of the old masters of the Sword Sect as well?"

Speaking of masters, Jing Wuming actually felt guilty in his heart.

Before this, he had apprenticed to several masters, but because of his Lone Star fate, these masters had all died.

But the masters did not regret it; they believed Jing Wuming was a rare martial arts genius and were willing to die.

Now that the young Jing Wuming heard he had not only caused the deaths of his old masters but even caused the decline of the famous Sword Sect, how could he feel good?

In this way, not only would the Mu household despise him, but I fear even the Sword Sect would drive him out.

You must know that the Sword Sect is no ordinary sect.

Although it is small, it has a long history.

It has been passed down for nearly a thousand years.

And within the Sword Sect, masters have emerged in large numbers, all of whom were big figures who dominated the Wu Lin.

From the Great Sword Master who founded the sect to the Sword Bei and Sword Wu who created the "Sword Qi Transformation," and even the current Sword Sect leader, Sword Hui, all were incredible figures in the Wu Lin.

The leaders of the Sword Sect through the ages were recognized by the Wu Lin as the pinnacle of the sword Dao.

There was just one thing that puzzled the world:

the Sword Sect acted very secretively and rarely accepted disciples, and their style was similar to the Xiaoyao Sect of the Great Song.

The disciples who could join the Sword Sect and learn its sword arts were undoubtedly dragons and phoenixes among men.

If the entire Sword Sect declined because of him, that would be a sin.

"No way... did you hear that? Mr. Su said the Sword Sect will decline because of this boy?"

"Hmph! Isn't the current Sword Sect already declining? I fear it will be exterminated because of this boy..."

"Truly unbelievable! I didn't think there was really such a thing as the Lone Star fate! It even caused the Sword Sect to decline?"

"But even so, if this boy defeats the Sword Saint, it won't be a loss."

Su Hang listened to the crowd’s discussion, paused, and continued:

"Originally, even if you joined the Sword Sect, you would only be an insignificant disciple,"

"but no one expected you to endure the pain of ten thousand swords piercing your heart and ultimately achieve the Heavenly Sword realm."

"This is unprecedented in the history of the Sword Sect."

"And according to the rules of the Sword Sect, the highest martial arts manual, 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin,' can only be taught to the strongest disciple."

"It can be said that this 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin' is the supreme manual that countless sword learners dream of."
